Frederick the Great wasn't well? His dad, Frederick Wilhelm, was deeply unwell, but Frederick the Great was remarkably well-adjusted for a traumatized pre-industrial king. Plays the flute, loves dogs, loves men, embraces art and philosophy, looks after the welfare of the common people, and has a little war, as a treat.
